Yes - you can do this - but only for your own Python code - there is no
reasonable way to setup COM so that anyone else (ie, other languages and
programmers) can create an "Excel.Application" object and have it use yours.
It _would_ be basically possible to have it work with "MyExcel.Application".

My earlier post in this thread showed how to do it for your own Python app.
Allowing it to work for other apps is more difficult, but I doubt that is
what you are after...
